"We never made any secret of 4A's desire to bring Metro to the latest generation of console hardware," said the firm.

"But what you saw leaked was taken from an old, internal planning presentation, containing some nuggets of truth but a lot of hypothetical ideas and place holder material.

"(Eagle eyed fans will recognize the artwork on the 'packshot' as the art from the original Russian edition of the Metro 2033 novel. And that 'logo' is just the old Metro 2033 logo with the '2033' scrubbed out and 'Redux' added... )

"As you can see, we're not quite ready to reveal 4A Games' first next-gen console project, but we will be making an announcement this side of E3.

"And we think the reality is a lot more exciting than the out-dated material that got leaked shows, and we're itching to share it with you. Just not yet."

Original story:Metro 2033 and its sequel Metro: Last Light could be in line for re-release on PS4 and Xbox One, a report suggests.

Promotional materials for a compilation titled Metro Redux have appeared on Italian website Everyeye, along with a release date of July this year.
